Living in my local area has its strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, there’s a decent range of local shops, with a mix of independent stores and larger chains, though some could benefit from better variety. Restaurants and bars are generally good, offering a friendly atmosphere and a range of cuisines, though they can get quite busy on weekends. The open spaces are a real highlight — well-kept parks and green areas make it easy to enjoy the outdoors. Transport links are fairly convenient, with regular bus services and a nearby train station, but services can be less reliable during peak times and weekends. Parking on my street is often a challenge, as spaces fill up quickly, and traffic noise can be noticeable during rush hour. Bin collections are usually on schedule, but occasionally missed. Anti-social behaviour isn’t a major issue, though there are occasional late-night disturbances. Overall, it’s a good area with room for improvement in transport and street-level convenience.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management has been responsive and professional whenever I’ve raised issues. Rob Tom at the reception desk has been especially helpful and patient, always willing to assist and follow up until problems are fully resolved.

One day I lost my wallet and i didn’t know where I left my wallet, maybe at public area. I was almost desperate at that moment. Thanks to Rob Tom from the reception desk. He took care of my wallet and informed me immediately. Really lovely staff!
